Sqlkit 0.8.5
========
I'm pleased to announce rel 0.8.5 of sqlkit, that adds many
improvements.
In this release localization has been added. I'd be very pleased if someone
would like to contribute localization file for any language (but italian).
Changes in this release
--------------------------------------
sqlkit 0.8.5 - 16.1.09
* localization: added localization for numbers and dates
added localization for messages
-- now waiting for translations ;-) --
* table: - added a smart way to automatically set dimentions of the
table based on info retrieved from the database
(thanks to Pietro Battiston)
- complete rewrite of the column setup function
- added a basic multiline cellRenderer
- grately improved the navigation with Tab that now
correctly triggers validation/completion
* fields: many improvements in clean_value/validation
* mask: - added handling of comments
- fixed integer/float miniwiget (0 was rendered as '')
- text now uses gtk.WRAP_WORD
- fixed current_idx was a class attribute not an instance attr
* layout: added check and hints on errors for Panes widgets
* django_syntax: fix in typo
* filters: fixed handlung of boolena & NULL check in related tables
* signals: - record_selected -> record-selected to follow gtk standard
- added records-displayed
* widgets/layout: added label_map support
* sqlwidget: rationalized menu entries
The package
-----------
SQLkit PyGtk package provides Mask and Table widgets to edit database
data. It's meant as a base for database desktop applications.
The application
---------------
It also provides 'sqledit' a PyGTK application based on sqlkit that can be
used from command line to browse and edit data.
The package has 2 very rich demo suites for sql widgets (the main one in
sqlkit/demo/sql/demo.py) and for layout creation
Main features of sqlkit:
------------------------
* editor of databases in 2 modes: table & mask
* based on sqlalchemy: can cope with many different databases
* very powerfull filtering capabilities:
- each field can be used to filter records
- filter may span relationship
- date filtering possible also on relative basis (good for saved
queries)
* completion on all text field and foreign keys
* very easy way to draw a layout for mask views
* completely effortless editing of relationships
* very easy way to set defaults
* possibility to display totals of numeric fields
* any possible sql constraint can be attached to a Mask or a
Table. It can be expressed a s a normal sqlalchemy query or with
django-like syntax
* sqledit: python script to edit db
Sqlkit is based on:
-------------------
* python (>= 2.4)
* PyGtk
* Sqlalchemy (>= 0.5)
* glade
* dateutils
Dowload & more:
---------------
* http://docs.argolinux.org/sqlkit/sqlkit/download.html
* hg clone http://hg.argolinux.org/py/sqlkit
* google group: http://groups.google.it/group/sqlkit/
* License: GNU GPL
Hi All,
I'm pleased to announce the v0.3.0 release of filelike, a module for
easy creation and manipulation of objects that provide a rich file-like
interface. New in this version we have:
* support for seek() and tell() in FileLikeBase
* much better support for intermingling reads and writes
* rearranged filelike.wrappers to provide consistent naming scheme
* filelike.join function: concatenate several file-like objects so
they behave like a single file
* filelike.slice function: access a portion of a file-like object as
if it were an independent file
* Buffered wrapper class: emulate seekability on streaming
input/output
Along with a host of small fixes and new test cases. All the details
are available at the project website:
http://www.rfk.id.au/software/projects/filelike/
Cheers,
Ryan

Pycairo is a set of Python bindings for the multi-platform 2D graphics
library cairo.
http://cairographics.orghttp://cairographics.org/pycairo
A new pycairo release 1.8.2 is now available from:
http://cairographics.org/releases/pycairo-1.8.2.tar.gzhttp://cairographics.org/releases/pycairo-1.8.2.tar.gz.md5
bbfc0c2fef08dfb0c5b8baa5f0b67a87 pycairo-1.8.2.tar.gz
Overview of changes from pycairo 1.8.0 to pycairo 1.8.2
=======================================================
Pycairo 1.8.0 resulted in crashes for some applications using threads.
So upgrading to 1.8.2 is recommended for threaded applications.
Bug Fixes:
#19287: Threading support results in crashes in
cairo.ImageSurface
New Methods:
Context.set_scaled_font
API Changes:
Matrix multiplication:
old code: matrix3 = matrix1 * matrix2
new equivalent code: matrix3 = matrix1.multiply(matrix2)
matrix3 = matrix1 * matrix2
is now equivalent to matrix3 = matrix2.multiply(matrix1)
which is consistent with standard matrix multiplication.
This month we're going to have a presentation from Myles Braithwaite on
how to use the CouchDB system from Python. According to Myles this is
the stuff he couldn't get to when he presented the library at TLUG last
month. CouchDB is an Erlang-coded distributed "document oriented"
database with bi-directional replication mechanisms. There is a Python
API and Myles will be discussing how you go about actually using CouchDB
in your projects (hopefully he'll cover the "why you'd want to do that"
stuff too :) ).
We'll meet at Linux Caffe, at the corner of Harbord and Grace, one block
South of Christie station, at 7:00pm. We'll start the formal
presentation at 7:15. Directions are available on the website's
next-meeting page:

Have fun all,
Mike

This is a minor patch release of pyjamas 0.4p1, the
Python-to-Javascript compiler and Python Web UI Widgets
Toolkit.
What is Pyjamas for? Pyjamas allows a developer to create
U.I applications in python as if the Web Browser was a Desktop
Widget Set toolkit platform (like pygtk2, pywxWidgets and pyqt4,
only much simpler, and more powerful). No knowledge of javascript
programming is required: the python-to-javascript compiler
takes care of the conversion between python and javascript,
and the U.I widget set takes care of all the browser and AJAX
incompatibilities.
Why don't I find that exciting? The significance of pyjamas
takes a while to sink in. Or you're not a UI developer.
Or you've never been asked to write an identical app that
works on both the desktop and all major web browsers.
If you're a python developer who has followed the history
of web application development of the past decade, with
much frustration and disappointment, is overwhelmed
by Javascript, AJAX and the demands of the
"Web 2.00o0ooo0 Revverlushun", then Pyjamas is
something that you should consider investigating.
Pyjamas 0.4p1 Bug-fixes (and accidental Features)
Significant bugs fixed include HorizontalPanel's remove()
function, SimplePanel's clear() function, and sprintf
with multiple arguments ("%s %d" % ("hello", 2) will now
work)
Dialog Box now has modal functionality (thanks to jurgen
kartnaller).
HorizontalSplitPanel has been added, although both the
horizontal and vertical panels operate correctly on
Mozilla-based browsers, but Safari and IE need volunteers
to work on them.
Several more examples have also been added, including
a spreadsheet-like GridEdit example; a Transparent SVG
canvas clock widget (that actually tells the time); an
"Information Hierarchy" example that could be used as
the basis for an online cooperative spreadsheet editor;
Erik Westra's "Showcase" source code which provides
and shows the source of the 30 widgets being demo'd;
and a few other minor examples.

I'm pleased to announce the new release of Papywizard 1.6.0!
http://trac.gbiloba.org/papywizard
This will probably be the last release of the 1.x branch. Papywizard v2 is
on the road; first task will be to switch from PyGTK to PyQt, then re-think
the internal design for a better modularity (plugins).
Main new features
-----------------
- simple timer/intervalometer
- alternate shooting area (plain text)
- support for gtkrc style file
- shooting dialog improved
- resolution of mosaic panos
- new i18n languages (italian)
- GUI minor improvements and bug fix
What is Papywizard?
-------------------
Papywizard is a free panohead control software, mainly developped for the
Merlin/Orion astronomic mount[1][2] but usable for other panoheads, as long
as it is possible to talk to them (hardware/software).
The project is developped with the support of Kolor company[3], which
develops the famous Autopano Pro stitcher software[4].
Comments, questions and bug reports must be posted on APP forums[5].
Enjoy!

*What's New in Python?*
Stuck using a rusty ol' snake? All Pythonistas within striking
distance of Maryland are invited to the *BACON-PIG* meeting on
January 19th to learn about all the new features in Python since
2.4, with an emphasis on Python 2.6 and 3.0. Barry Warsaw, Release
Manager for Python 2.6/3.0, will present the latest stuff, along with
some insights on porting existing code. We have a full 2 hours
reserved for the meeting, so there will be lots of time for questions
and discussion, after which we'll adjourn for the customary post-meeting
sushi outing and pythonistic schmoozing!
Here are the meeting coordinates:

Dear Python users,
After a quite silent month (during which we did not remain completely
inactive), the Elisa team is happy to announce the release of Elisa
Media Center 0.5.23, code-named "Play The Game".
Elisa is a cross-platform and open-source Media Center written in Python.
It uses GStreamer [1] for media playback and pigment [2] to create an
appealing and intuitive user interface.
The main highlight of this release feature-wise is on the plugins
installation: plugin updates will now be silently installed by default
as well as new recommended plugins. New configuration options allow to
tune this default behaviour. On windows, Elisa is now able to restart by
itself after installing plugin updates.
As usual, a handful of bugs were fixed, a complete list can be found at:
http://bugs.launchpad.net/elisa/+milestone/0.5.23
Installers and sources can be downloaded from
http://elisa.fluendo.com/download/
Bug reports and feature requests are welcome at
http://bugs.launchpad.net/elisa/+filebug
Have a media-centered and happy new year,
The Elisa team
